small pool areaterrace inattentiveness

The outdoor pool area felt cramped. IT seemed too small considering HOW many guests the hotel holds. I also found the lack of attentiveness on the terrace frustrating. We waited almost thirty minutes before having to find someone OURSELVES to take our order. I didn't expect that.

amazing experience!

the staff were amazing, polite, and helpful. the outside pool with green tiles facing the ocean reminded me of miami. the menu was varied and very tasty. the seafood cocktail was amazing!!!

the car park charged £27 per night. finding alternative parking was difficult, as side streets required permits. i was frustrated by the added expense and lack of convenient options.
